1t appears that, under a miscon-
struction of the above, generations
are being granted by county courts.
This clause simply authorizes the
county court to reduce such assess
ments as may have been made after
the meeting Of the board of super
visors-that is, property which was
overlooked by assessor and has been
assessed by the sheriff or clerk then,
il the taxpayer thinks the assessment
too high, he may appeal to the coun-
ty court. But in the matter of prop
erty Listed by the tax-pa, er, valued
by the assessor, and passed upon by
the board Of supervisors, the Court
has 10 authority to change the valua-
tions and can only correct errors
that is, release the taxpayer where
1t 10 shown that he owns no such
property, or where there is evidently
a clerical error.
Sheriifs will, therefore, disregard
all orders Of exoneration that do moi
clearly come within tho law, and es-
peclally all orders changing the val
uations fixed by the assessors and
passed upon by the board of super
visors. FAYETTE HEWITT,

DEATH OF MRS. VINCENT.
She Passes Quietly Away, Leaving an
Aching Void In Many Hearts.

Mrs j. r. Vincent, died at her pleasant
home on Charles street, Boston, Sunday morn
ing. Mrs. Vincent was nearly SO years old,
and her connection with the Boston Museum
covers period of years. Her maiden
name was Mary Ann Farley, and she was
born in Portsmouth, Eng, Sept IS, 1918.
Her father, who was in the British navy, died
when she was but years of age, and two
years later her mother died, and left her and
her brother in the care of her grandmother
and an aunt She made her first appearance
on the stage in little theatre in Cowes.
in the Isle of Wight, playing in small parts
In August, 1885, she married Mr.. James r.
Vincent, clever comedian in his day. The
story of the trials and troubles of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vincent on their tour through England,
Ireland and Scotland, and their narrow es-
cape from being in the long list of persons
who sunk in the ill-fated Pegasus is pretty
familiar. After tempestuous voyage they
arrived in Boston on Saturday Nov. z, 1S47,
and on Nov. IL appeared in the farce Pop
ping the Question: which was played after
t'The Wizard of the Wave.n On June IL,
1850, Mr.. Vincent died Both he and his
wife were re-engaged for the next sea son at
the time of his death.
From her first appearance until the present
she has been a member of the Museum COM
pany, with the exception of one season, 1861.

An inspection of the admirably arranged
records of the Boston Museum gives the best
evidence of the industry and success attend
ing upon the engagement of Mrs. Vincent as
a member of the companies appearing there
during the last "a years. She has appeared
in no less than 444 different characters.

Narrow Escape From a Big Bear.

The largest bear any of us ever saw
was cinnamon that came within an inch
of killing one of my men, good bun
ter and first-class guido-Charles Huff.
Il may refer to the big cinnamon, too, as
an instance of the danger that sometimes
attends trapping the bear.) He had set
his traps near Sunlight, in the spring,
aud was unable to visit them for week
When we got to the bait, trap and log
were gone. After taking up the trail, he
soon found the remnants of his log
chewed to match-wood the bear, evil
dently a large one, had gone off with the
trap. He followed his trail as long as he
had light but found nothing, and had to
return to camp. Next day, very fool
ishly, he took the trail again alone, be-
ginning where he had left off. After a
long march he came to the steep side of
hill the bear had evidently gone up
there; on the soft, snow-sodden ground
the trail was plain. Just as he was be
ginning to ascend, there was a rush and
rear, and the bear was on him. He
had no time to put his repeater to his
shoulder, but letting it fall between his
hands, pulled the trigger. The bear was
within few feet of him, and by great
chance the unaimed bullet took him be-
tween the eyes, He had evidently tried
the hillside, and, worried by the heavy
trap, had come back on his trail and
lain behin1 great heap of dirt, into
which he had partly burrowed, waiting
for his enemy. Among the debris of
spring -tide-fallen stones and uprooted
trees "a bear could easily lie hidden, if he
was mad and wanted to conceal himself
till the enemy was within few feet. 1t
was terribly close shave. -Seribaer's

How to Save Garden Seeds.

Peas and beans should be left on the
vines until the pods are well wrinkled,
when they should be picked and spread
until they are quite dry. Small quanti-
ties may be shelled by hand large crops
are threshed with fail. Keep them In
pdry lace,
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should be taken only from ripe
perfect-shaped specimens. In a small
way the seeds may be simply taken out,
spread on plates or tins, and dried.
Larger quantities have to lie washed be-
fore drying, to remove the slime that ad-
heres to them. When the seeds are
thoroughly dried, tie them in bags and
keep in dry place secure from mice and
rats.
Beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots, onions,
caulitlower and cabbage will not produce
seed until the second year. Set out il
early May, strong, wel-manured plants
of last seasons crop. When the seed is
ripe, cut the stalks and put under covel
to dry. Then beat out the seeds and liz
in paper bags.
Seeds of all kinds should be fully ript
when gathered, but it is also importan
to harvest them as soon as they are ripe
For keeping small quantities of seeds
paper bags are preferable to cloth, a
they afford better protection agains
moisture and insects. Always mark eacl
package with the name of the seed con

grew. Cold does not iniure the vitalit,

high. A tight roof is needed to keep
out rain, which would quickly melt the
ice. Three requisites for keeping ice
are an air-tight and water-free founda-
tion, an air-tight non conducting wall,
and plenty Of ventilation above over a
sufficient non-conducting covering. The
ice is packed in a house of this kind on
the earth floor upon foot of sawdust; no
sawdust is required around the ice, but
this is packed close to the wall and all
spaces filled with ice dust. A covering
two feet deep of sawdust is placed over
the ice. The door is double. A cool
closet can be built in an iceh0use of this
kind, but it will waste large quantity
of the ice, and then a drain pipe should
be made with an % in it to prevent air
passing through it into the ice. The
closet should be made with walls of zinc
or galvanized iron and have double door
like that of the icehouse. With such a
closet twice the quantity of ice will be
required. York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Why Not Keep Bees ?

cit has always been a question to our
mind, " says the Farm and Home, "why
there are so many homes without bees.
There is no diet more delicious or health
full than honey. 1t is within the reach of
every one. There is not a housewife in
this broad land who does not feel a touch
of pride and satisfaction when she can
place before her guests, assembled around
her hospitable board, dish of nice
honey. The friends somehow feel that
they have been especially favored and re-
assured of hearty welcome. 1t is far
superior to the doctored store molasses
OF sorghum, and can be had for less cost
or labor. Your wife will have to pay
more attention and bestow more labor
in raising a brood of chickens than viii
be required for several colonies of bees.

Save the Cornstalks.

We still have farmers by the thousand
who never cut up any corn, and who do
not get dollars worth of feed per acre
from their cornfelds, and not infre-
quently damage the land by tramplng
more than all they get is worth, says
Waldo F. Brown, in the New York
Tribune. If this dry season compels
them to save part of their fodder so as
to teach them its value, that will be some
compensation for short crops. The great
bugbear to these farmers in feeding corn
stalks is the waste of butts "What can
we do with the coarse stalksW they ask
"they are in the way in the managers and
it takes year to rot them" There are
two ways to manage the corn butts
either will reduce them to fine manure
by OF before May 1. If you will rig some
kind of cutter and cut the fodder, even
into footlengths, the waste can be used
for bedding either horses or cattle, and
will be tramped fat and rot quicker than
straw. My nearest neighbor cuts his or
a block with a broadaxe, and with one
to hold the bundle and another to use the
axe, fodder for four or six horses can bt
cut in a few minutes. l use V-shaped
cutting-boX with circular or curved
knife and find it quite speedy.
But the trouble with the cornstalks i:
more imaginary than real when the fod
der is fed long. When l feed without
cutting, as l often do, carry the waste
from the hangers once day and spread
it in the barnyard, and it is so mixet
with the waste straw from the stacks ant
and the manure from the stable, and 81
well trampcd by the cattle, that it only
needs forking into a pile, and allowed
to heat, to prepare it for use. Managed
in this way, when once the cattle breal
the outer shell of the stalks by tramping
they will rot quicker than straw and ar
better absorbents. One trouble in mos
stables is the small, narrow managers il
which the fodder must be fed. NJ,
stables for both horses and cattle are ar
ranged with a feed-foor instead of
manger; or it might he called continu

me to sweep it from end to end, as ther
is no obstruction.

How to Build an Icehouse.


The foundation for an icehouse is the
first requisite, and this should be dry and
perfectly sealed against the air. A round
knoll is the best site, with slope in each
direction, and sandy or gravelly soil is
the best ground. Proceed then as fol-
lows: Dig out eighteen inches of the
ground and throw the earth all around,
to be afterward raised around the fouu-
dation TO furnish the slope required to
shed rain water. Make stone or brick
wall, laid with cement, three feet high
and foot thick, which will raise the
foundation little more than the sloping
ground, just enough to secure the base
against contact with tie earth and conSe-
quent rot A sill 1913 is then laid on
the wall and bedded in the cement or
mortar, and frame of stu lding 2x4 is
trenailed on to the i'll inside and out
side II studs are tied together by
cross pieces here and there to keep them
from spreading. A plate of 12x2 is
spiked on the studs. The studs are cov-
cred with tarred roofing paper or felt,
and an outside wall is made of novelty
siding, which laps over the foot wall two
inches on to beveled water table fast,
! encd to blocks built in the wall for the
purpose. The inside wall is made oI
matched boards or boards jointed to fiji
closely and to the space between the
walls is filed with sawdust
Cross beams are then laid on the
plates and spiked to them. and the
rafters are spiked to the plates aud cross
beams. There is no need for close fiji
